Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Getting BF: BC Maps in VIP Map Pack 7

by Alice O'Connor, Nov 08, 2010 5:40am PST

Fan-favourite Battlefield: Bad Company maps 'Oasis' and 'Harvest Day' are being revamped for Battlefield: Bad Company 2's upcoming multiplayer VIP Map Pack 7 downloadable content, developer DICE has revealed.

After winning a poll to find fans' most beloved Bad Company maps, the BC2 ports are tarted up with "full Destruction 2.0 (buildings collapsing and micro destruction), enhanced graphics and lighting, and remastered ambient sounds and backgrounds."

The other two new maps in the pack, 'Cold War' and 'Heavy Metal,' are based upon maps from BC2's singleplayer campaign. DICE describes the latter as "one of the largest multiplayer maps ever for Battlefield: Bad Company 2."

Map 1: Oasis
Origin: Battlefield: Bad Company multiplayer
Game modes: Rush, Conquest, Squad Rush, Squad Deathmatch
Map 2: Harvest Day
Origin: Battlefield: Bad Company multiplayer
Game modes: Rush, Conquest, Squad Rush, Squad Deathmatch
Map 3: Cold War
Origin: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 singleplayer
Game modes: Rush, Squad Rush, Squad Deathmatch
Map 4: Heavy Metal
Origin: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 singleplayer
Game modes: Conquest, Squad Rush, Squad Deathmatch

As with previous packs, VIP Map Pack 7 will be free to all on PC and also be free on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 if you have a VIP code, which comes included with all new copies. There's no word yet on when it's scheduled for release.

  Yeah. Hopefully they have revamped the update/file system so it's not so difficult to add new content. : EnderWigginDA

Are you paying attention, Activision? Giving your customers updates of old maps doesn't have to cost them. What's that? You can't hear me over the sound of millions of dollars being thrown at you for MW2 map packs?

This is an awesome map pack. I wish End of the Line made the cut, but oh well.

It's nice that the BC1 maps support all 4 modes.

Can't wait! I hope they release it sometime in November.
